The bass from Moon's speakers thuds through the floorboards, rattling the cheap plastic cups on the kitchen counter. Blue and purple lights streak across the packed living room, catching on the sharp angles of a mohawk in the corner. Eli Moskowitz leans against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw tight. He hasn't moved from that spot since he saw you walk in. Across the room, you lift your cup of beer, trying to ignore the weight of his stare. The party swirls around you—laughter, shouting, the clink of bottles—but there's a bubble of silence between you two. He pushes off the wall, shoulders squared, and starts walking toward you. His eyes never leave yours.
